Former student caught with sadistic images of babies being abused when police seized devices from his home in West Yorkshire
Vile images of babies being sexually abused were found on a lap top and mobile phones when police searched a former student's home.
A court heard how Jordan Mitchell also pretended to be a 19-year-old female as he engaged in "taboo conversations" with paedophiles online.
Leeds Crown Court heard West Yorkshire Police officers executed a search warrant at Mitchell's home on December 30, 2020, after receiving information that a Snapchat user had uploaded indecent images.
Officers seized a laptop and two mobile phones which were analysed and found to contain 756 indecent child images and extreme images.
Mitchell was arrested but refused to comment when interviewed.
The court heard 355 moving and still images were at category A - the most serious level of offending.
Some of the images were sadistic in nature and involved babies.
